WHOA! Talk about steamy. I am a book dealer and just picked this one up to take to the bathroom. Well I never put it down. Finished in less than a day I couldn't stop reading it!!!! Holy hell this book is steamy. Intelligent characters rather than the usual idiots. A gut wrenching story! You just want to wring Visili's neck! This isn't the usual maiden helpless count stud book. This is stubborn bullheaded to the point of being grotesque baroness, and whoring to the point of thank God they didn't have AIDS back then, count!
I heard this book was a sequal and now I have to find which came before. If anyone knows email me bookszilla at comcast dot net. Thanks so much, now I must get back to ordering every J Lindsey book i can find LOL Talk about steamy beach reading... meow...

Alexandra has waited for seven years for the man she insists she loves to return for her. Meanwhile, all of her family and friends tell her that she doesn't really love him. Exasperated, her father forges a betrothal contract with the son of his best friend, who died 15 years before, and mails a letter to the widow asking when the contract will be honored. Vasili Petroff is amazed to hear he has been betrothed for 15 years, and determines that he will be as obnoxious as he can be, so that Alexandra will break off. Alexandra is playing the same game, and both are determined not to be married. Enjoyed it very much. Nice read.

A lie binds two in marriage that take quite awhile to discover they love each other.
Joanna Lindsey always writes a book that is so easy to read. This is another one!
Good easy read, probably a pg version of some of what she usually writes.
In all the world, no man exists who can tame Alexandra. A fiery and beautiful free- thinker. Alex's steadfast refusal to marry has frustrated her hapless father. And so he creates a 'long-forgotten' agreement and sends his rebellious daughter away, falsely maintaining that Alex has been promised since childhood to the handsome, insufferable libertine whom she must now accompany to his homeland to wed...
round & round they went rather amusing tale

BETROTHED
Dismayed to find himself suddenly engaged, Count Vasili Petroff plans to repulse his unwanted fiance' by acting the perfect cad--unaware that wily Alexandra plans to follow a similar path. But the road to deception is a rocky one--and its many unexpected turns can lead two reluctant companions to a most unanticipated destination: that place called passionate love.
As usual, Johanna Lindsey does it again! If you like her books, you will love this one also!
